My CLL is in its early stages. Diagnosed in early 2016 because of repeated high white blood cell counts. So far few if any symptoms and no treatment.

Long may it stay so Ed, welcome to the club! Marc
A warm welcome to the forum Ed_Ward, even if it's not what any of us really want to be a part of if given the choice.
Hope you can continue on active monitoring (Watch & Wait) for a long time to come.
Best wishes

hi ed likewise early stages like you I haave few symptons that really bother me , so I guess that's good but it is difficult to be doing nothing --I alwsy ownder if the docs on nhs should be doing immunology early and then have less to deal with later but there must be osme reason for watch and wait , hard isn't it but good you have liitle or no symptons bets of luck and hope that continues for you regds cw
I'm in the same situation. Diagnosis in May 2016 at 44yr old. No signs or symptoms and it turned out (without all the detail) that I had many good markers. So even though on W&W, I felt like I needed to do something. I have increased my workouts, especially cardio, and I have tried to make my diet much healthier. I feel like if I can be as healthy as possible that maybe I can stay on W&W long enough for better medication to come to market.
